Back in the day,years ago when dinosaurs were around(me) it was the rack going south.I would take it to a brake place and have them put the car with you in it up on the lift and see if this can find the problem.hope this helps.You turning the wheel left and right with no load.

fatdog2 are you saying rack and pinon going out wish i pray to god its not. yes im just doing normal turning with me in it really bad when i turn right. its like tire rubbing noise best way to explain it.

Is it in the front or back? Rear brakes can make noise too from the play in the axle.

front right when i give it good turn like Sharpe turn makes rubbing noise not a pop or grinding noise just like rubber on rubber. i took it into a parking lot yesterday turn radio off rolled windows downs its a good sound you can hear it. just hoping its nothing bad cause ill done put good bit money in this car.

Check for witness marks. Look for anything that looks like it was rubbing. The jack that corner up and see if the hub bearings ball joints, bushings and or tie rod ends are worn by wiggling the tire up-down and side to side. If you have play in either direction, it'll get you closer to finding it. Unfortunately, it's hard to diagnose a noise without being there. Let us know what you find.

after 3 days got lil clear, the noise was coming from the right rear of the car not the front right, so i went today got gear oil filled it up it was low took over half of a 32oz bottle ? took her back out its still doing it, making like a rubbing noise when i do a left circle ? a full left circle im pretty sure she needs brakes could this be it i looked under it while i was up under the car seen nothing out of place ?

Post #8. The axle can move enough to cause noise. My 97 did this after changing out the rear. I used a 3 channel rear, and the 4 channel backing plates and axles from the car though. I think I had to shim the caliper, it's been a long time. Try new brakes and see how it sounds. You need them anyhow so it can't hurt. Check how much axle end play you have too while you're in there.
